Job 40:1-7

1 Entonces continuó el SEÑOR y dijo a Job:

2 ¿Podrá el que censura contender con el Todopoderoso? El que reprende a Dios, responda a esto.

3 Entonces Job respondió al SEÑOR y dijo:

4 He aquí, yo soy insignificante; ¿qué puedo yo responderte? Mi mano pongo sobre la boca.

5 Una vez he hablado, y no responderé; aun dos veces, y no añadiré más.

6 Entonces el SEÑOR respondió a Job desde la tormenta y dijo:

7 Ciñe ahora tus lomos como un hombre; yo te preguntaré, y tú me instruirás.

Job 40:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 40

In this chapter Job is called upon to give in his answer, Job 40:1,2, which he does in the most humble manner, acknowledging his vileness and folly, Job 40:3-5; and then the Lord proceeds to give him further conviction of his superior justice and power, Job 40:6-9; and one thing he proposes to him, to humble the proud, if he could, and then he would own his own right hand could save him, Job 40:10-15; and observes to him another instance of his power in a creature called behemoth, which he had made, and gives a description of, Job 40:15-24.
